Title: Buying Spices in the Lanarkshire area
Post by: logie48 on December 29, 2012, 09:25 PM

Long shot here, but can anyone recommend me a place to buy spices in the Lanarkshire area?

I remember someone telling me about a place in bellshill/mossend, but the name escapes me and I can't find it online.

Many thanks.

hi l48

best idea is to shoot into your most local BIR or Indian takeaway and ask where they get theirs from or get their directions to your closest Asian store selling spices.

remember to not buy big quantities as spices are best at their freshest even though they are dried, so aim to be using them all up within 3 months max and replenishing regularly for best results

Thanks for the advice Paul.

I was looking for a particular shop near to me.  I suppose I could ask if they know of this place, or any other which they recommend.  Not made a curry for a few months and bored out my head with the Christmas holidays.  I'll ask about tomorrow.

EASTERN SPICES FOOD STORE-345 MAIN STREET-LANARKSHIRE-BELLSHILL-ML4 1AW

This the one you mean? I've only looked on google street view and it may not be there anymore. If you find it, let me know.

Depends whereabouts you are in Lanarkshire. If you are near Bellshill there is a good wee shop at the end of the high street just along from Bellshill high school. If Glasgow is nearer the head to Great Western Road where you can take your pick. My favourite is KRK continental foods on woodland road just off GWR

Ah I see it on google street view now. I'll definitely check that shop out, may be easier to get parked than in Glasgow. Cheers!

Went to the store in Bellshill today. Nice store with lots of spices, pastes etc and small grocers and halal butchers. Managed to source the patak pastes I was having trouble getting a hold of and get a fairly hefty jar of G and G paste. I'll definitely be back!
